摘要:

本文通过对大麦云星云中30个剑鱼座的H和Ks成像,评价了多共轭自适应光学演示器(MAD)的性能。地图的全宽半最大值(FWHM)的点源在H和Ks的图像,以及地图的Strehl比在KS波段观测。这三颗天然的导航星都位于MAD视场的边缘,观测是在相对较大的气团(1.4-1.6)下获得的。即便如此,在第二次指向(与参考星相比最好的位置)中实现的斯特列尔比率从15%到令人印象深刻的30%不等。第一指向的初步光度校准表明5 σ灵敏度为Ks=21.75和H=22.25(分别来自22和12分钟曝光)。

英文摘要:

We evaluate the performance of the Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) from H and Ks imaging of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Maps of the full-width half maximum (FWHM) of point sources in the H and Ks images are presented, together with maps of the Strehl ratio achieved in the Ks-band observations. Each of the three natural guide stars was at the edge of the MAD field-of-view, and the observations were obtained at relatively large airmass (1.4-1.6). Even so, the Strehl ratio achieved in the second pointing (best-placed compared to the reference stars) ranged from 15% to an impressive 30%. Preliminary photometric calibration of the first pointing indicates 5 sigma sensitivities of Ks=21.75 and H=22.25 (from 22 and 12 min exposures, respectively).
